So, the Evening Standard has published a list of the 50 best hotels in the UK. I couldn’t help but scroll through to see if Bournemouth or Poole was in there. Sadly, none in Dorset let alone Bournemouth. I certainly didn’t hope to find one when I looked through the list as, in spite of having some prime locations our hotels are pretty rubbish. Same can be said for dining out, restaurants here are either middle of the road or just not very good. Although there is Shell Bay Seafood Restaurant and the Guildhall Tavern in Poole old town which a few years ago became very French in style. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’ve missed something. However in another listing Bournemouth seafront and Shell Bay are included in the ten whitest beaches in the UK. Well us locals knew that didn’t we?
In Derbyshire a drug addict realised that the house he was in was about to be stormed by police so he jumped out of a first floor window. After landing on a garden shed and from there to a back alley he fled through various neighbours’ back gardens. But sadly for him it’s a modern world we live in, even in Matlock, Derbyshire and the police drone tracked his escape until the police were able to apprehend him. The Derbyshire drone unit said ‘you can try to run and you can try to hide but not from our #EyeInTheSky.
Here’s one for the girls, just to let you know that the French bob is the hair style we should all be getting. Thanks to four months of lockdown when our hair has been left to grow it should be quite easy to achieve. Just pop along to your local salon and have it cut all one length. The sides should be down to your chin and other than that it can be curly, straight or wavy. I can’t wait to get mine done.
BoJo’s dad has been having a go at him as I mentioned in an earlier post stating that his son is in cloud cuckoo land. Now it’s sister Rachel’s turn as she question’s his memory of staycation holidays (am I the only person in the UK who hates this stupid new expression?). Rachel said her memories are of rain in Ireland and Mull and childhood summers in West Somerset where it’s one of the wettest places in the country. Poor old BoJo can’t seem to get it right. She has been having a working holiday in Scotland and has not enjoyed it as she was bogged down by the cold and rain and had to pack much more than when she jetted off to warmer places. She finished off by saying that if anyone suggests another ‘staycation’ next year they can take a hike – somewhere nice and warm hopefully. Sleep tight, don’t let the bug bite. 😴💤😴
